ACTIVE SUPER JAZZ BASS CLUB...

Sign in to disble this ad
Not sure(i did a search) if this has been done..i want to see your active super jazz basses.. no passives here baby...Vintage, exotic tops, minimalist, boutique, lesser value, in the middle... 4,5,6,7,8 + strings...if there are such beasts...

i will start it off with a super Modulus Jazz...ive had doubts about its tone, but the more i play the more its the bomb..its got a killer growl, sustain until tomorrow, with a warm punch when EQ'd right..the slap tone is biblical..it really is..

a superduper active jazz bass.. you just cannot beat a Modulus for comfortable playing and feel...

let me see your superduper ACTIVE jazz bass pics.. please tell the specs within your beast..

Absolutely... this bass just exploded after I got the East fitted and the frets off.

my only active jazz bass (my other three are passive), but i absolutely love this one. EMG JV pickups, EMG passive blend control, stacked EMG BTC controls running on 24V.





here's a pic of the control plate with the modified treble & bass stacked knobs:

My Jazz 24. With the SD Basslines and the Duncan-designed 3-band EQ w/ slap (mid-scoop) switch, this thing can do anything I want.
